Do You Consider Poker a Passion, Job or Hobby?

japg11 · Jan 27, 2019

both!
Otherwise I would have abandoned the idea of being pro!
I love to play but also study and improve every day to have better results!

These days it's mostly a hobby that I'm passionate about. If the opportunity ever presents itself for me to make a career out of it that would be awesome. Until then I'll just keep on keeping on.

It's hard work, that brings me extra money for my passion !

Poker for me is hoobie.I have to read more about it to get better at poker.I'm a fish that love poker.

If you are paying your bills with poker money it is a job. If you play constantly but you also have another source of income it is a hobby.

Myone · Jan 30, 2019

I just a game that gives me an opportunity to be social which I am not too much

scaleyback · Jan 30, 2019

I think poker is a passionate game that depends on luck and does not depend only on skill.

job is where you go to make money, poker is where you go to have fun and if doing it right well 70% chance of making money in general is what you can achieve most in my opinion.

Davlic · Jan 30, 2019

totally agree with you. good luck is also needed here 🤞

kkonicke · Jan 30, 2019

I consider it mostly a hobby, hopefully bringing in a bit of extra money more often than not.

superspeed727 · Jan 30, 2019

Definitely a hobby. Though I have excellent reading abilities on the table and estimating the odds involved, I was often inpatient and my bankroll management left much to be desired.

ScoobyEdu · Jan 30, 2019

For me it's a little bit of everything, I just miss organizing myself to study more and more focused so I can increase my thoughts from a work point of view.

Which, by the way, would look fantastic!!!

hugh blair · Jan 30, 2019

I consider poker especially those big 10000+ player fields an enjoyable struggle.

Inequitas · Jan 30, 2019

Hmmmm its got to be an Obsession, Passion and Pleasure....

until.......

I'm staring in to the mouth of a megalodon on epinephrine with a mega stack that's "all in" on every hand... you win some and then you're faced with the "you were placed ****" notification.

It looks very much like this....

I'm playing poker online as a hobby and live with a couple of friends of mine. We have fun and that's enough.

magik9118 · Jan 30, 2019

I wOuld love To play poker as a job but unfortunatly i keep it as a passionat hobby for the moment!!

Nano5722 · Jan 31, 2019

For me this is not a job, I can play some poker in my free time.
I also like to play free tournaments without any risk, so you can play patient, enjoy the game and if you,ll get some luck you can also win some money. So, this is a great opportunity.

Warriorasf · Jan 31, 2019

Hello

For me it's a hobby and a job, I have fun and exercise my mind i like that.

qRock · Jan 31, 2019

As for me, poker is a hobby. Too much stress for such work.

Goldog · Jan 31, 2019

To the title question

Yes. Yes yes.

To the luck? The more skill you aquire, the less luck you need.

PaxMundi · Jan 31, 2019

A hobby that i love playing and if poker pays for a holiday, night out or even a new bit of fishing gear i have been eyeing every so often then it's happy days.

Shawnt · Feb 1, 2020

Job, then passion. Then hobby

It has been my job before to earn enough money to play cards tomake some real money. Work 3hrs. Go play a ND win 600+. Yeah it's a full time job to be good at what your passionate about

Fatman0912 · Feb 1, 2020

At this point poker is more of hobby than a passion for me, but I certainly do not consider it a job. I love playing and I don't earn enough to live from it

bronson · Feb 1, 2020

ha! It's a passion that fuels the desire of a job with the results of a hobby
